The Marinoan Snowball Earth ended 635 Ma ago during the Neoproterozoic Era, after an interval in which the Earth was completely covered by glaciers. Thawing of these glaciers formed cap carbonates across shallow marine depositional environments. The Noonday Formation is a cap carbonate that formed after the deglaciation of the...
Brachypodium distachyon is a close relative of many important cereal crops. Abiotic stress tolerance has a significant impact
on productivity of agriculturally important food and feedstock crops. Analysis of the transcriptome of Brachypodium after
chilling, high-salinity, drought, and heat stresses revealed diverse differential expression of many transcripts. Weighted Gene
Co-Expression...

• There are two optima for maximizing hydraulic conductance per vasculature volume in plants. Murray's law (ML) predicts the optimal conduit taper for a fixed change in conduit number across branch ranks. The opposite, the Yarrum optimum (YO), predicts the optimal change in conduit number for a fixed taper.

This monograph is focused around the controversy in the economic literature regarding the effects of income changes on labor force participation. In particular, this controversy arises from the opposing hypotheses: the "additional worker" and the "discouraged worker." Each hypothesis predicts different behavior in response to falling income or rising unemployment....
